WASHINGTON, May 10th Especial. -
The Critic tonight, speaking of the organ
iZation of the National Association of Cali
fornia Pioneers, effected last Saturday.
says The new Association is composed
of the best representative types of the brave
and adventurous men who first sought the
shores of the then distant FL Dorado.
Many of them have since risen to distinc-
ton in the history of their country. Their
President had already achieved repown ere
the first discovery of gold All of them
are characterized by those peculiar traits
which necessarily lead to the inception of
great enterprises and are most essential TO
the laying of broad and deep foundations
of new political communities. They can
say this OF themselves without the imputa-
ton of vain glory-they left the impress of
their energy upon the very soil in which
upon the annals of the State
from the outset of its wonderful
career. 1t is not surprising, then, that men
like these-in the full possession of their
mental and physical faculties-should be
living or that, animated by strong frater-
nal sympathies born of mutual dangers
vicissitades and priyations on the slopes of
the Pacific, they should come together like
brothers again. after a lapse of nearly forty
years, to pour Gbations of friendship upon
the shrine of their renewed youth. The
organization they have made, and made so
we'll upon so short notice, is of Itself a
demonstration that the spirit and energy
which took them promptly to the front of
pioneer life in California, have Dot been
impaired by the ravages of time nor the
burdens of mature age Long may the
sturdy ranks of the Association remain
unbroken.i

Los ANGELES, May 16th.-W. II. Boyce
had. a $4,000 libel suit pending against
the Times Nirrnr Company, of this city, and
the Gladstone Improvement Company also
sued the same paper for 500 600 for libel.
On Saturday a compromise was made on
the following basis: Col Otis was to retire
from the editorship of the paper, and an
editorial was to be published retracting
everything said against Boyce. He was
then to withdraw the suits. a certain sum
Of money was to be paid the Gladstone
Company for damages, and that suit was TO
be withdrawn. Yesterday morning the
Times contained the Withdrawal of Otis,
and to-day w. A. Spaulding, one of the
editors of the Times, brought Col. Boyce
copy Of the Times containing complete
yindicalion of Boyce. That gentleman
was satisfied and had the suit dismissed.
Spalding also paid the Gladstone Company
the sum asked, and that suit was dismissed.
In the afternoon many copies of the Times
were examined and none contained the
Boyce vindication. Spalding then &C
nowledged that the vindication was only
published in one copy of the paper-that
shown to Boyce. The lawyers suits will
at once be Reconstructed. Houghton, Silent
and Campbell, attorneys for the Times,
have withdrawn, and will have nothing
further to do with the case.

Report of the Commission Sent to the
Earthquake Districts.
HERMosILLo, May 16th.-The courier
sent by the Commission now examining
into the recent seismic disturbances in the
Sierra Madre mountains, arrived at Ures
to-day, and is the bearer of the following
dispatch to Governor Torres: In the
pueblo of Babispe 81 persons were killed
and 10 injured. In 0puto 8 were killed.
Both pueblos were destroyed. The inhab-
itants of Babispe, Baceraca, Oputo and
Guacabas are living in the fields, under the
trees, and in dugouts. There has been a
repeated succession of shocks, although
lighter than that OF the Sd instant. A
panic has existed everywhere, and num-
Der of women died from fright. The
pueblo of Fronteras, in the district of
Arispe, was destroyed, and fortunately only
one person killed. Bacoache suffered
greatly, but no one was killed or injured.
Everything possible is being done to re-
lieye the distress A wide extent of terri
tory is scanned with crevices and immense
chasms- The earth has sunk in many
places, and is flooded with water, making
swamps where water never existed before.
In many mountains are TO be seen what
appear to be eruptions and the continuous
throwing of smoke indicates volcanic ac-
ton, but they have not yet been explored,
owing to the continuous tremors and great
chasms making the approach thereto at
the present time most difficult and dan
gerous.
